Will life be different if there is another magic apprentice in the family?
Of course nothing can change. Just because the two teachers still have the same lazy personality as before.
Basically, Marquis Balan's magic knowledge is still taught by her friend of the heart──Kaya, just like when she was introduced to undead magic before. It's just that it was sneaky before, but now it's open and honest learning and discussion. Including Kaya herself, she also officially began to study undead magic seriously.
When there was something unclear, he would take advantage of the break after dinner to ask about the Marquise's nominal teacher, a lich who didn't care much about teaching his disciples. Just listen to these women chattering about some terms that no one understands. I don't know if the two apprentices really understand or pretend to understand. Anyway, someone is still in the fog and doesn't understand anything.
As for the progress of their studies, no one cares. Besides, it seems that the three girls do not intend to take the conventional route of learning magic. It means starting from the apprentice level magic of the first to third circles, and then passing the assessment again and again, and finally becoming an official magician recognized by the association.
The most important thing about this arrangement is that teachers can receive a subsidy from the Magicians Association. The association sponsors individuals to train magic apprentices. However, Fen is not short of money, which means that she has never made any serious money, she just has everything she can get. Is this an upgraded version of a tool person──a wallet. In short, Fen doesn't care about the meager subsidy amount.
Among the four apprentices in this family, the only male, Leonardo, has given up on magic. Lin didn't want to force this kid, he just felt that letting him out to fend for himself seemed like a very serious mistake. After all, he is a fellow countryman. Regardless of whether he is the person he imagined, it is not a big deal to have another mouth, so he will keep him until now.
It means that the young man's mind is still quite unstable. Apart from magic, I want to learn everything, and everything is a three-minute passion. This is not to say that he did not learn well. When Leonardo does something seriously, the finished product is always amazing. But his attention would suddenly shift to other places. The direction he originally thought he would develop in the future would be forgotten in the blink of an eye.
This can only be said to be the privilege of young people, who want to try everything. Lin did not curb such ambitions, but allowed them to develop.
Kaya and Halumi, on the other hand, have gone astray to the point where someone has long been unable to understand. So I had already decided to give up treatment a long time ago. Anyway, the hearts and abilities of these two girls have been trained well by someone, and ordinary difficulties are no longer noticed by them.
Marquis Balan learns magic out of sheer interest or for some unknown reason, and does not care about the evaluation or rank of the Magicians Association at all. Besides, given her family background, it is not that difficult for the association to provide door-to-door services or even provide some water without leaving a trace, and there is no need for others to worry about it.
However, outside of that home, the information revealed during the apprenticeship ceremony that day caused an uproar.
More than a dozen bishops of the Church of the Three Holy Lights and the Lord of Life also hoped to become the disciple of that lich, and even went so far as to confront the priests of the Lord of Justice. More importantly, the Lord of Justice actually burned one of his own priests for this.
In the Church of the Gods, it is not uncommon for gods to punish believers who abandon their faith. But using such drastic means to deal with a high-level believer, even in front of outsiders, there is a lot worth pondering behind such behavior.
Therefore, capable nobles not only began to pay serious attention to the rumored demon king who had been resurrected a thousand years ago. They also investigated what happened to make the Church of Three Holy Lights behave like this. And this is not something that the middle and low-level church members in the imperial diocese can understand. Otherwise, the righteous priest would not have made such a mistake.
With the support of more than a dozen bishops, even the emperor of the Gwana Empire might not be able to get such support, but a magician, especially a lich, got it. What's the rationale behind this? The nobles were all curious. This is not to satisfy the gossip mentality, but for political considerations. They must know where to place him.
In a majestic castle somewhere that is more practical than gorgeous, in a remote and dark study, the owner of the castle is accepting reports from those who walk in the darkness. The content written in the report is not an exaggeration to describe as "unbelievable". He asked: "Are you serious about writing this?"
"My lord, do you think the guild has the capital to deceive you? This information was exposed by a powerful person within the Three Holy Lights Church. That lord will not just talk about it. And not just one, but many people have said the same thing." matter. I believe the credibility is very high."
The former demon king was supported by the life bishops to the extent that as long as she stood up and shouted, the Church of Three Holy Lights would split on the spot. Even the faith in the Lord of Life will be challenged.
This is caused by the dispute between the three treatment methods in the Church of Three Holy Lights. The first is to consume the vitality of the person being treated and speed up the recovery of injuries or diseases. This is an effect that magic can also achieve. But it will not have any therapeutic effect on people who are about to die, because the vitality of such people has already been exhausted.
The second is to consume the divine power of the Lord of Life to create so-called 'miracles'. It's a pity that the Lord of Life's divine power is not infinite. In the history of this god, he once faced the crisis of death due to excessive consumption. This is also the reason why the Three Holy Lights Church charges so much for treatment today.
Although using 'money' to screen who is eligible for treatment and who is not is a very philistine thing. But at least it can eliminate the vast majority of people who just want to obtain salvation but are incapable or unwilling to pay.
The third type is medicine. Don't look at the many magic potions, panaceas, and rejuvenating medicines. To have these magical potions, the raw materials are extremely precious. However, the herbal medicines that ordinary people can afford have not been systematically organized at all. Determining which medicine to use and in what dosage depends purely on word of mouth or rules of thumb. Not to mention research on disease.
What that lich did was to make up for the shortcomings of the Church of Three Holy Lights, the Lord of Life.
And why this matter is taken so seriously can be understood from the costs of the three treatment methods. Facing the first type of lifeless person, it is impossible to save them, so they can be ignored.
The second method relies on divine power to heal. The disadvantage is that it is expensive, very expensive.
As for the third type of drug use, as long as reasonable material substitutes are found, there is a way to lower the price of the drug to a level that ordinary people can accept.
The original intention of a believer who can become the Lord of Life must be to save more people. It was impossible to reject the research that Fen was conducting. Because this lich is studying diseases and hopes to find targeted special medicines. As long as one is completed, it means that countless people can be freed from the threat of this disease.
This is the reason why the bishops of the Lord of Life choose to protect a lich.
